OH no you don't! We're all staying aboard for now. I've locked up all the life jackets... Strike up the band!

A Fidelity price alert took me down memory lane this morning, right as Uncle Ben was cutting us all 75 bp of slack.

Two years ago this week I was buying Eagle Bulk Shipping shares at $12-$13. I reinvested that 10% dividend all the way up and sold last July at $24.58/share. Looks like EGLE peaked last Oct around $35.

The price alert was generated because EGLE opened today at $18/share, and managed to close at $19.54. The previous day's close was $20.

Impressive volatility.

I don't spend much time here anymore, so please send me a PM. Thanks.

For those who like the tanker/ship charter business, have you looked into the somewhat similar airplane leasing business? I was looking at AYR (Aircastle LTD) and thinking about buying some but ended up deciding I didn't feel like dealing with the tax headaches since it is a Bermuda PTP.
